In a way Fabio feels Austria was a necessary shock to show Yamaha engineers how difficult current situation is. “I feel we don’t know how the bike is working or will react.”

Miller getting increasingly frustrated by lack of news from Yamaha regarding ‘26. Said he’s setting his own deadline to get an update this weekend as has other offers to consider. “I’ve been more than patient.”

Marc on Pecco’s current struggles: “Your teammate is always an extra pressure. But also an extra motivation. He’s in a moment where he needs to regain his confidence. (But) Pecco has enough experience to absorb all these things.”
